Advice for those who are lax in shaking hands with women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. He says: My family are among those who are lax in shaking hands with women, and I reject this matter. I have explained to them the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but to no avail. So what should I do? They are now mocking me and saying, "The religion is easy, and you are being strict."
Answer:
You must continue advising, clarifying, and forbidding them from this, for this is a religious ruling and there is no social nicety in it. If they are mocking you or making fun of you, the sin is upon them and the harm is upon them. As for you, you will be rewarded, if Allah wills, because you are forbidding what is wrong and conveying religious rulings. So you must persist and be patient with whatever harm they inflict on you. Perhaps Allah will guide them and open their hearts. Yes.
